Note that all of the patches except one which are marked as "Ready for
Committer" were either submitted by a committer, or the reviewer is a
committer. Of those, 3 are mine. Two of those are patches I'm
postponing committing at the request of Tom Lane to avoid making the
9.1 and 9.0 trees drift too much before 9.0 is out. However, given
the rapidly decreasing frequency of commits to the 9.0 branch, I'm not
sure how much longer it makes sense to hold off: I'm currently
thinking I'll commit those two after beta4 wraps. The last of those
is the 5-key syscaches patch, which only makes sense if knngist needs
it, so it may get bumped to the next CF, as knngist was not submitted
in time for this CF. The other 4 patches were either submitted or
reviewed by Simon Riggs or Itagaki Takahiro, and I am presuming they
will commit them themselves unless I hear otherwise (in which case I'm
happy to pick them up). That leaves just one patch that's actually
been reviewed and is ready to be picked up by a committer, so we
actually have a bit of a pipelines stall here.

This is a very big number... I hope some of these reviews start to
come in soon. I think this is where our bottleneck is at present.

It seems to me that the discussion is Alvaro and I are having with
Markus is tilted toward having Markus rewrite the imessages interface
to use an SLRU, in which case neither of them will go in this CF. I'm
hopeful that Heikki or Tom will comment on this also when they get
back from their vacations.
